What is one challenge that you are most grateful for?

Despite how unfathomable and hard this past year alone has been for me, I know it is going to continue to help me learn and grow into the person I need to become. I may not appreciate the struggles that have just come along with 2020 by any means whatsoever and it has given me a lot of extra time to know who I am just a little bit more than usual. I am hopeful that everything can settle down with not only my emotions-- but realizing that it is just simply a part of my life and something I know will be handled over time. It has not been the most ideal of experiences for any of us this year, but we have made it this far into it and I am not planning on giving up any time soon!!! 

What are some things that make you happy in life??

My NINJA friends who make me not only laugh until it hurts---but are such amazing people who I know are going to accomplish so many incredible things in their future. I am so grateful for the legit happiness that we share with each other 

Music has definitely been such an escape for me this year and listening to the messages behind it-- has really helped me to see the clarity that I need in my life. I am grateful for the peace it brings to my heart and knowing that I am not alone, especially during a health epidemic in 2020.

Being a part of two disability councils this year is something I am truly grateful to participate on and it will be a learning experience nonetheless, but I know it will help me to become the person I need to be down the road. I am grateful for the wonderful people who support and guide me along this journey & hoping that I can leave an impact on the world in some way. 

I am truly grateful for my position as the YLC Secretary and getting to keep track of things that need to be taken care of. I know there are only so many more lessons to learn and experiences to teach me what I can do not only just better but also more efficiently. It has only lasted for a short period of time, but it is great that I can volunteer my time to make things run smoothly and be an example to those all of my friends who are involved.
